MONT ALTO — A new nonprofit organization is holding a free event for Franklin County residents Saturday, Aug. 3, at the Richard K. Sleicher Events Complex off of Route 997.

Project Big Love, started by Shon Duty of Kaimon’s Call and Kaimon Group, is an outreach for the community to help meet residents’ most basic needs.

Starting at 9 a.m., there will be free health screenings, haircuts, job fairs, food, live entertainment and a prayer tent. Free groceries will be given away, and children will receive a pair of shoes and a backpack filled with school supplies for the upcoming school year while supplies last. No identification is required.

Volunteers from 30 churches, local businesses and community organizations will come together to make a difference in their community.

“This is an exciting opportunity for Franklin County residents to unite and do something positive to combat the growing problems plaguing our community. All guests at the outreach will be greeted with open arms, and will be given nourishment for both body and soul. These people are our ‘honored guests,’ and we will do everything we can to make a difference in their lives,” Shon Duty, event coordinator, said.

Volunteers, donations and sponsors are needed to help make the outreach a success.
